Answer 2

Answer:

No '0' is not a term of the AP 31,28,25,.....

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 0 be the nth term of given AP i.e., an = 0.

Given that, first term a = 31, common difference, d = 28 – 31 = – 3

The nth terms of an AP, is

an = a + (n-1)d

⇒ 0 = 31 + (n-1)(-3)

⇒ 3(n-1) = 31

⇒ n-1 = 31/3 + 1 = 34/3 = ⅓

Since, n should be positive integer. So, 0 is not a term of the given AP.
